To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN HENRY WEBB, of

Riverside, Cardiff, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Handles for Planes and other Tools, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

In carrying out my invention I provide a handle of suitable material which is attached to the plane in any convenient position by means of grooves or such like. I provide strengthening brackets or supports. In ordinary plane-handles these are out from Wood in the solid and are mortised into the planeblock; but by my invention this handle may be attached to the block without cutting the block, it being merely necessary to secure the handle to the supports which are attached to the plane-block. 1

For purposes of illustration I will now refer to the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation showing my invention applied to a plane, and Fig.2 a plan View of same.

a is a plane-block to which the brackets b and d are attached by means of the screws 9 and f, the bottom bracket d being recessed, as indicated by the dotted lines. The handle I I In means for attaching handles to planeblocks, in combination, two brackets secured by means of screws to the plane-block, one upon the end thereof and the other upon the adjacent top of the plane-block; a handle of suitable material adapted to engage between said brackets, a screw passing through top bracket and handle and engaging in the bottom bracket for the purpose of securing the handle in position, a recess in said bottom bracket for the reception of said handle, sub stantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of April, 1899.
